I wish you had publicly released your nineties programs...
Me I was mostly:
10 print "Hello!"
20 goto 10

I tried it for about 40 mins on my real hardware and...

I love it!

The program does what it says...

Tic-Tac-Toe, Icon Editor, Mine Sweeper, all does works.
Sadly I was not able to run command.com inside it.

But you can add icons for your favorites programs... change the icon with one 
you drawed,
move icons from one of the 5 desktops to the other,

It correctly remember your changes from one execution to the other.

I hardly see how you cannot see the added value for this!

But indeed, VirtualBox mouse being so buggy as it is... I would really not be 
surprised to have problem under VirtualBox.
I not tested it under VirtualBox yet.
But as the instructions says, you don't need a mouse to use it... tab allows 
you to navigate between icons.

And it is not perfect... in the first 2 mins, I had a runtime error... the only 
time (maybe because I did not know how to use the program).
Also, when the DOS programs hang... you get out of Costa GUI.
